You can't run use_init_interp=.true. on a fates restart file, because it doesn't know what to do with the cohort dimension, which is on over a dozen variables in the restart file from a simulation with fates.
This is what the error looks like when you try to do that:
Interpolating: fates_to_bgc_last_edts_col => fates_to_bgc_last_edts_col
Interpolating: fates_seed_rain_flux_site => fates_seed_rain_flux_site
Interpolating: fates_trunk_product_site => fates_trunk_product_site
